The Recompense of Divine Love

Helen Wood Bauman

Justice is destined to bring full recompense for all wrongs suffered. If justice is not experienced, this is because it is not spiritually understood as an ever-present and demonstrable fact. Christian Science reveals this vital attribute of God as signifying the operation of real law and explains how we can bring our affairs under the invariably just law of God, divine Love. Through Science, Love's recompense is always available.

The mortal sense of life is the essence of injustice; but divine Science obliterates this sense, which is false, and in this way undermines the injustices that evil has perpetrated. Then the unreality of mortal existence is proved and real existence governed by Love's law is revealed.

Mary Baker Eddy says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 2), "When we remember that God is just, and admit the total depravity of mortals, alias mortal mind,—and that this Adam legacy must first be seen, and then must be subdued and recompensed by justice, the eternal attribute of Truth,—the outlook demands labor, and the laborers seem few."
